Mauke Pe Chauka! 7 Brands That Came Up With The Best Virushka-Inspired Ads

This was pretty much all of us last weekend and earlier this week when actress Anushka Sharma and Indian skipper Virat Kohli flew to Italy to get married. As soon as Filmfare broke the news, on the evening of December 11, congratulatory messages started pouring in for the newlyweds from all directions.

Soon, even glimpses from their wedding surfaced on the internet. That's when all the #Virushka fans lost it completely and had proper social media meltdowns. However, there were a few who calmed themselves down and decided to celebrate this wedding of the year with a dash of wit and humour. They're none other than our country's smart advertisers. They decided to make the most of this opportunity by coming up with the most creative way to wish Anushka and Virat a happy married life!

A bowl full of ice cream can solve anything and who knows this better than Baskin Robbins?

Fevi Kwik – Fix kardi jodi!

Durex – Let nothing come between you! Except...

Sharing this image on its social media pages, it said: "Finally, Virat Kohli bowled his maiden over. #VirushkaKiShadi"

Wrogn – Single or taken?

This is calling twisting the knife in! We bet this made a lot of women cry. Wrogn decided to give all the Virat's aspiring brides a reality check with this ad.

Manyavar – Simple yet speaks a lot!

While they didn't create a separate creative for wishing the couple, they didn’t need to, because it was actually Anushka and Virat’s ad for Manyavar that kickstarted wedding rumours. We actually should thank the clothing brand since it gave us a glimpse of how the duo would look on their wedding day. Also, before the first #Virushka wedding pictures were released, EVERYONE was using stills from this ad (There were also some truly hilarious Manyavar-related tweets floating around).
